When Lu Buping heard Yan Ting mention authority, Yin Jian said happily: "That must be a great authority. From Yi Nizi's point of view, what kind of authority is enough?"
Yan Ting said without hesitation: "This is not easy, becoming the leader of the martial arts alliance is enough."
Lu Buping shook his head and said with a smile: "The leader of the martial arts alliance is only a nominal leader, and the various sects may not truly obey him. If what he does is perverse and even alarms the power of the imperial court, how can there be any good fruits in the end?"
Yan Ting thought for a moment, blinked and said: "Then he shouldn't be the emperor? And he must be a good emperor who is diligent and loves the people. But it's still wrong. The emperor will be afraid of the people's rebellion, and not only the people, there are also many high-ranking officials who seek to usurp the throne. ,That……"
She was hesitant and undecided, and Mu Yun took the opportunity to add: "Even if the whole country is united and the country is peaceful and the people are safe, as an emperor, you have to respect the heaven and the earth and fear ghosts and gods. Although you don't talk about strange powers and chaos, there is a certain destiny. Those who act recklessly will be punished by God."
Yan Ting curled her lips and suddenly had an idea: "Then become a deity. There is nothing to be afraid of in deities. No... deities must also be governed by heaven. The order of heaven is decided by the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother, so why not just become the Jade Emperor?" no?"
Hearing this, Shang Hongxiu couldn't help but joked: "Little sister, you are so confused. Our daughter's family can only be the Queen Mother."
Yan Ting said with a smile: "Who said that the Jade Emperor must be a man? Isn't Wu Zetian the Queen? By then the Queen Mother will also have to be changed to the King's father-in-law."
Everyone couldn't help laughing when they heard this, and Lu Buping also said happily: "Nizi wants to be the 'Jade Emperor'. Lao Jinghua can't help, but the Kunlun sect is a serious cultivator of immortality. Nvwa, please tell Nizi. The secret to becoming an immortal."
Yu Bingru said with slight embarrassment: "I am not a disciple of Taoism, and I don't know much about the way of cultivating immortals. I remember that it is roughly to cut off the five evil spirits and eight evil spirits, destroy the six desires and seven emotions, induce three tribulations and kill three corpses, and obtain the immortal body after death." You must persevere and gradually rejuvenate your youth, and finally the Nascent Soul can emerge from the body and become an immortal."
Lu Buping smiled and said nothing after hearing this, but Yan Ting said in surprise: "All the seven emotions and six desires have to be cut off? What's the point of that?"
Yu Bingru nodded and said: "So the real immortals are rare after all, and the so-called 'rules of heaven' are nothing more than these precepts."
Mu Yun echoed: "And even if you work hard to reach the immortal body, once you fail in your cultivation, you will be immediately sent back to the mortal world to go through the hardships again. Not to mention those stupid emperors and stupid officials who are extravagant and lustful. The delusion that you can become an immortal just by taking pills is really going in the wrong direction."
The two of them sang together, and what they said was so true that Yan Ting couldn't help but feel depressed secretly. Then she flattened her mouth and said: "Then I don't want to be a god. It's good to be two-faced. In fact, we are all the same. The mermaid still wears If you wear a mask, you are considered a 'three-faced sect'."
After she finished speaking, she did not forget to stick out her tongue naughtily, looking like an "innocent" cute person. Yu Bingru was teased so much that she couldn't express her temper at all, so she could only shake her head with a wry smile.
At this time, all I heard was Kong Fang's nonchalant voice: "Senior just said that there are still two to three percent of the essence that the juniors need to understand. I wonder if you can make it clear?"
Lu Buping smiled slightly and said: "Including what Nizi and the others just said, it should be about 90%. As for the remaining 10%... Master Lei, why don't you talk about it?"
Everyone woke up after hearing this. Unexpectedly, Xiao Lei, who had always been sharp-tongued, didn't say a word this time.
In a flash of thought, they all looked over and saw Xiao Lei adding charcoal to the stove. At the same time, he said casually: "Old cat, I only know how to make mysteries and make excuses. I am too lazy to compete with your juniors for favor. I want you to make a fortune." It's okay to persuade them verbally, so let's bring some good stuff over here first."
Lu Buping was smiling bitterly, but Yan Ting rolled her eyes and said calmly: "If my little brother can really express his thoughts to the master, I will give you this pair of earrings. How about it?"
Xiao Lei glanced at it and then said disdainfully: "What kind of inferior things are brought into the world? Diamonds are so great. Isn't it just like the charcoal rubbish I burned? It's just a stone?"
Yan Ting hesitated, couldn't help but glare at Xiao Lei, and said angrily: "It's true that they are all stones, but my stone is enough to replace your stone thousands of times. I guarantee you have never seen anything like this in your life." Valuable stones.”
Xiaolei smiled and said: "Is it really that valuable? Then use this stone to light the fire. Who will be frozen tonight with a bruised nose and a swollen face, and tears streaming down his face?"
Yan Ting was secretly frustrated and couldn't help stamping her feet and scolding: "You are just burning the fire - burning the life of the little boy, huh! Summer insects cannot talk about ice!"
Xiao Lei immediately retorted: "I think you are a frog in a well, and you are not the only one who can't talk about it. Not only those two stones, but also your clothes, including you, I am not interested in it, so I can't even think of taking it." These vulgar things buy my true knowledge and insights."
Yan Ting was blushing with anger when she heard Mu Yunqing cough and say: "I have a little impression, but I don't know whether to say it or not."
Lu Buping rolled his eyes and said with a smile, "You can say whatever you want, whether it's right or wrong, it doesn't matter."
Mu Yun cleared his mind and considered, "Actually, this junior also came up with these opinions after listening to the argument between Xiaolei and Ting'er. We all know that diamonds are much more valuable than charcoal, but in reality they are not of much use. At most, it’s just good-looking.”
"But beauty is not the point. The key is the scarcity of diamonds. As the saying goes, rare things are valuable, which shows their preciousness. And the bigger the diamonds are, the rarer they are, so of course they are more valuable."
"Although it is said that rare things are valuable, if you think about it carefully, this truth actually makes no sense at all. It is just that everyone thinks it is a truth, and it finally became a truth. I don't know who was the first to say that diamonds are valuable, but their family should You should have saved a lot of diamonds.”
Everyone listened to Mu Yun talk for a while, but most of them couldn't get the point. Yan Ting frowned and said, "Xiao Mu, what nonsense are you talking about? What's valuable is what's valuable. Otherwise, if you go out and ask, no one except you is a fool." Who doesn’t know diamonds are a good thing?”
Mu Yun said with a slight embarrassment: "Don't worry, everyone, we are about to get to the point. In fact, what I want to say is that power is similar to diamonds. It is valuable because it is so rare, and it also becomes more valuable as you go up. "
"Diamonds can be exchanged for a lot of money, and authority can be exchanged for a lot of benefits, but what exactly is authority? It is neither the emperor's dragon robe and jade seal, nor the general's handsome helmet and tiger talisman, nor the martial arts The alliance leader's golden order is actually the word 'submit' in the final analysis."
"The real authority is what everyone is convinced of. No matter what method is used, everyone must be convinced. Therefore, the first person to say that he has authority must be someone who everyone believes in, so that he can rely on illusory authority. , to accomplish what he wants to do.”
